HARMONY IN HARLEM

Eastern England's unique 17-piece big band

Playing the music of

DUKE ELLINGTON

Harmony in Harlem provides an exhilarating experience, the best of jazz and swing. Ideal
for your dinner dance, a lindy hop dance, a 1930s/1940s/WWII event, jazz festival or big band concert.

With a unique repertoire from the greatest jazz composer/bandleader in history,
Duke Ellington, Harmony In Harlem are perfect for a wedding celebration, a Valentine's Ball
or corporate entertainment.
Our inspiring selection of music ranges from the raw sounds of the jungle to vibrant foot-tapping swing,
from the darkest lament to the lavishly romantic, tailored to your needs.

Harmony In Harlem can play anywhere in East Anglia, central England or the London area. The bandleader,
Michael Kilpatrick, will happily work with you or your venue to arrange whatever is necessary
to perform either indoors or outdoors. The orchestra will consider any community/charitable event or professional
engagement. Previous performances range from dances for the Cambridge Lindy Hoppers to a private party
at the request of a Lord Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom!
